Leukemia, people talk about it in succession. Hearing this statement, parents are at a loss and dare not let their children drink casually. So, is this true?
Is this drink that deadly?
?
The post repeatedly mentioned something called "sweetener", which exists in drinks. The article points out that this is the chief culprit that causes children to get leukemia.
According to the post, children who often drink drinks will accumulate sweeteners in their bodies and cannot metabolize them. However, sweeteners can lead to dysfunction of the large intestine, making it impossible for the kidneys to make blood. When a large number of sweeteners enter the bone marrow, the bone marrow will be blocked and unable to make blood, and the hematopoietic function of bone marrow will be affected, which will become obstructive anemia to a certain extent, leading to leukemia.
Technical terms and seemingly reasonable explanations seem to cast a scientific color on all this. For a time, everyone avoided "sweeteners" and even dared not drink drinks. Is that really the case?
Look carefully, the post emphasizes the consequences of "large intestine dysfunction", as if leukemia is completely caused by this. Is this equivalence reasonable? Besides, can't the human body's own metabolic system handle sweeteners?
In fact, American scientists have done experiments on mice to detect the side effects of three commonly used food additives to increase sweetness. Experiments show that aspartame can be absorbed and metabolized into aspartic acid and phenylalanine in normal human body, and it will not accumulate, and there is no evidence that aspartame will cause large intestine disorder, except for patients with phenylketonuria, who limit their intake of sweeteners because they lack phenylalanine metabolizing enzymes.
Drinking drinks may really lead to disorder of the large intestine, but the sweetener is not behind it. Carbonated drinks in beverages can cause the disorder of large intestine most, because carbonated drinks can produce gas, which will make the large intestine still wriggle without digesting food residues. If this is the case for a long time, the rhythm of large intestine movement will be chaotic, and dysfunction will naturally occur.
Then, if the large intestine is disordered, will it cause blood tumors?
We all know that the large intestine is the last digestive organ of human body. When the food arrives here, there will be residue. The large intestine absorbs water, inorganic salts and some vitamins, and the rest is converted into feces and discharged from the human body. If the large intestine is disordered, it will cause constipation and diarrhea. Although these two problems often happen to us, they will also bring harm such as physical discomfort and decreased immunity, but it is far-fetched to say that this is directly related to hematopoietic dysfunction.
Let's see what leukemia is. Leukemia, commonly known as hematologic cancer, is a malignant clonal disease of hematopoietic stem cells. Due to uncontrolled proliferation and differentiation disorders, a large number of problematic cytoskeletons and other hematopoietic tissues accumulate and infiltrate into other tissues and organs, affecting normal hematopoiesis. In other words, the cause of leukemia is not the problem of water in human blood, but the pathological changes of blood cells.
However, if the disorder of the large intestine leads to long-term diarrhea, people's resistance is reduced, and they are easily infected with viruses, and leukemia is related to a certain virus infection, then it is possible to get leukemia, but what is the probability? Even if there is a blood relationship, it is not a direct relationship, because the exact cause of leukemia is still unknown. Now the medical community believes that there may be many factors leading to leukemia, virus may be the main factor, in addition to genetic factors, radiation, chemical poisons or drugs. Therefore, the probability of leukemia caused by large intestine disorder is not as high as that of radiation scanning! (what? Can radiation cause leukemia? & amphellip& amphellip estimates that some people are confused when they see this sentence &; hellip& amphellip)
So this post is really sensational, and everyone should keep their eyes open to see such remarks.

However, on the other hand, although drinks are delicious, don't be greedy.
First of all, drinks are not a good thirst quencher. Some drinks not only can't quench thirst, but will aggravate the body's water shortage. For example, drinks with high sugar content are not easily absorbed by the human body and will consume water when decomposed.
Secondly, drinks may dilute gastric juice, thus inhibiting children's appetite, and protein, certain vitamins and minerals that children ingest will not lead to malnutrition. Moreover, some drinks contain preservatives, and excessive intake will produce "chromium compounds" in the human body, delaying the growth of bone cells, especially chondrocytes, and affecting the height of children.
Finally, drinking alcohol can really cause disease. Of course, it's not as scary as leukemia. "Juice urine" is caused by excessive drinking of drinks. Drink a lot of fruit juice, sugar can not be absorbed by the human body, and then excreted from the kidney. As a result, the urine sugar value increases, which may cause kidney disease in the long run.
Again, boiled water is the best drink, which has the functions of promoting metabolism, regulating body temperature, conveying nutrition, cleaning internal organs, enhancing immunity and beautifying skin. For our own health, we still advocate drinking boiled water.
